Markholt Stays Alive

Lee Markholt battling it out
Lee Markholt battling it out
Brandon Cantu and Lee Markholt got into a flop raising war to see Markholt all in for his tournament life.

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{A-Hearts} and Markholt's {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Diamonds} rivered a low to Cantu's {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{K-Hearts}{K-Spades}.

Cantu reacted with the comment, "You've gotta be kidding me," as he pulled his chips back and chopped up the main pot.

Markholt is still low with under 20,000, while Cantu sits in great shape with over 75,000 in chips.
